Chordify is great! Their backend is written in Haskell, and part of it is open source as well: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HarmTrace

they did a couple papers describing algos:

(There's usually a few "doesn't work" comments, but imagine how much extra processing is required to get the fundamental when you run guitars thru delay/ reverb, overdrive/distortion, chorus/tremolo/vibrato etc effects)

Yeah, those chords certainly don't look quite right. There's some missed changes and some that show up a beat too early or too late. It's also missing a lot of subtleties, like 7th chords and inversions.

For a much more blatant example of Chordify just failing to spot really obvious things, check out their results for "Get Lucky":

This song has a completely fixed chord scheme (Bm/D/F#m/E). Each exception in the chord sheet is a mistake.
